Salary, gender and the social cost of haggling - MSNBC"Research shows men are more aggressive than women in asking for a raise."
The article basically infers that woman get short changed compared to men in the work place, because men are more aggressive when it comes to new opportunities. I personally don't think this is entirely true. This may have been the case in the late 80s or the 90s, although woman in the workplace now seem to be more aggressive than men. While many men do not want to deal with the complications of office politics, I see many woman navigate past all the sharks with their passive aggressive nature (this is a generalization, but it is a compliment). Most men are outwardly aggressive in the office, and often this can cause outward conflict among team members, and ultimately the conflict makes it difficult for men to advance. I think woman who are in higher management roles often find a way to chart the waters a bit easier than men.
